The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:

The 46th President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, announced yesterday that he does not intend to seek re-election. Over the last 24 years, the Annual Member Charity Classic at the Beverly Golf & Country Club has raised greater than $1,400,000 for many worthy organizations in our community. For their 25th year, they are donating all proceeds to Keaton’s House – the first-ever Children’s Hospice being built in Hamilton. Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly apparently blunt talks with her Chinese counterpart Wang Yi last week, as part of a one-day visit aimed at reopening channels of dialogue after six years of a deep freeze in bilateral relations. The LCBO strike is over, following a last-minute hiccup. Where do the players stand now and what's the political fallout? A knife-wielding Canadian has been killed by Israeli security forces, following an attempted stabbing attack.
